Your sacral chakra is like a little ‘happy button’ situated about two inches or so below your navel. Its alternative name is Svadisthana. It is associated with joy, creativity and enthusiasm. Having a good energy flow through your sacral chakra will enable you to have a fulfilled and happy sex life too. That is certainly a good reason to work on getting the flow through this chakra.

The Mood Chakra

The sacral chakra is associated with the emotions such as sexual appetite and creativity. An imbalance in this chakra puts your emotions into turmoil and sexual dysfunction. Dealing with an imbalance here can be a way of letting go of control issues and feeling free as a result.

Recognizing the Truth

Liking yourself is sometimes easier said than done, but it is vital to a balance in this chakra. You need to build a good self-image and improve your self-confidence.

That often begins with some quite tough self-awareness, as you learn to recognize and value your feelings. Don’t let your emotions control you; see if you can step outside of yourself a little and understand how you feel and what has caused these feelings.

Balancing your Sacral Chakra

Color breathing is one of the most effective ways of balancing the energy in this chakra. To do this, you need to focus your attention on the spot about two inches below your navel, where you will find your sacral chakra. There you should visualize a warm, deep orange glow, as this is the color associated with this particular chakra. Exercises such as hip rolls and pelvic thrusts will also help to free up your sacral chakra energy.

Take deep breaths, seeing yourself pulling the deep orange glow into your lungs. Imagine the glow being pulled into your body and gently released back to the universe each time you breathe out. As you do this, feel the freedom of being able to move around comfortably in the warm glow, not weighed down by anything. You should feel a renewal of your emotional connection to the universe.

This ability to let go will aid your relationships as you won’t feel guilt, or the need to blame that ruins so many relationships. You will be able to move on from past hurts and find love and satisfaction once more.
